To everyone out there like Suzy Q, who have had one or two bad relationships… don’t give up! If you give up you don’t stand a chance at happiness. I have a suggestion, there are many online dating websites that have had much success with people meeting and getting married. Search for them and post your profile.
Yes, you need to be careful to meet in a neutral place such as a restaurant the first time. But it’s just like meeting someone in your everyday life. Sometimes they are good and sometimes not so good. Some people lie on the dating websites as well someone you might meet in your everyday life could be a liar, as well.
Most importantly, get to know that new person in your life before making a commitment, take your time. Good luck and don’t ever give up!

Love and marriage, what a great topic. I could go on forever. Woman meets man or visa versa, they ‘fall in love’. Then they ‘fall out of love’. How does that work? There are all kinds of reasons, they didn’t grow together, they don’t see eye to eye, of course there is always the cheater (could be either spouse), but someone always gets hurt, how sad.
Did they get married for the wrong reasons, maybe. I’ve been through a divorce, actually two divorces. I thought they were the right men for me, but I guess not. I was devoted, but they strayed. Am I bitter, I guess somewhat. Can I trust another man, not sure.
I know marriage can be great. My parents were married for 50 years and I observed that they were very happy most of the time. They had their quarrels, but always made up, they were wonderful to each other and to me.
I am looking forward and maybe someday, as other people have expressed on ShmoozeTalk, my prince charming will come along when I’m not even looking!
It feels good to be able to express myself without having to give my name, thank you ShmoozeTalk!

Yes, it would have been nice if my husband and I were able to retire since both of us are in our late 60′s. However, since the recession has taken hold in our home state of Arizona it has been a battle to keep our heads above water. We do have some savings and we see some little signs of the economy improving. We own a business and because so many people lost their jobs, it has effected our business.
We do take some time to smell the roses and we have a trip planned for later this year to visit our children and grandchildren in California. I hope that 2012 will prove to be a better year for everyone. We plan to retire by the time my husband turns 70. Just a few years later than we originally thought that we would, but thank goodness we are both healthy and very happily married for 45 years!
I found ShmoozeTalk.com by surfing the web. I think it’s a great idea!

I feel like I’m being pulled apart. Too much responsibility with my job, wife, 3 kids, a house, 3 cats and a dog. My wife works part time and that helps with our finances but my job is now shaky due to the economy. Stress about losing my job really has me depressed. I’m looking for a new position but it’s tough to find. I keep myself together for the sake of my family but it’s hard to always hide my worries from my wife. The stress is tough. I will go on and keep trying to solve my work situation. I hope that the economy gets better soon for everybody.

Dreams can come true! I finally got up the courage to divorce my spouse after a much too long miserable, abusive marriage. Mr. Right came along and now I could not be happier!
There are many women like Jamie and me who stay too long in a bad marriage, afraid for one reason or another to get out. I hope all of these women have the courage, like I finally did, to leave and look forward to a much better future with no abuse.

Thank you Tammi, we appreciate your comments and hope that you enjoy a very happy life. As for Jamie and others in her situation, we hope they have the strength to realize that life can be good once again after a bad abusive marriage/relationship. Happy Holidays to everyone!

Jamie,
I have been divorced for 11 years. Yes, it’s hard sometimes and I get lonely but I’m so much happier being alone than being with my abusive x-husband. You will too and once you move forward you’ll be surprised how easy it becomes. Not to mention leaving yourself open to find the right man. When you stop looking he will appear……

Some things just can’t be talked out. After years of abuse in her marriage, it’s time for Jamie and other women like Jamie to wake up and move on with their lives. I know, because I stayed in a marriage for 20 years that brought me nothing but heartache and pain. Counseling for my spouse and I didn’t work because she didn’t want it to work, instead the counselor got rich. Maybe we were not meant to be with one person, or maybe we need to have more then one mate? I mean isn’t that what other primates have done in the past? Sorry, but I am bitter from putting my heart and soul into my marriage and not having it work out when I did my best. However, I have not given up and I am looking forward to finding my soulmate. Jamie should do the same.

Yes, I guess Tiger Woods thinks he can do anything he wants to and get away with it. What a beautiful family that he does not appreciate. Or maybe he really does have a sex addiction. Let’s see how his sponsors continue to support him, or not!

Thank you Talk It Out, your comments are very wise. No relationship/marriage is perfect. After all, we are individuals. However, if two people love and care for each another, and want to make it work, they will.
